“I don’t want to see anybody in pain,” Kasich said. “So I guess when I look at this now, I look at it differently than I did in ’10. Because I’ve become convinced that sometimes, you just got to say this is what we’re gonna do and if you don’t like it, there’s nothing I can help you.”
In contrast to what he said a month before he won the governor’s office in 2010, Kasich sounded a note of compassion for those struggling to make a new life in America. He noted that his wife had a friend who was forced to return to Nicaragua, and there was nothing he could do about it.
“So when I look at a group of people who might be hiding, who may be afraid, who may be scared, who have children, I don’t want to be in a position of where I make it worse for them,” he said.

For those you who think Ohio Governor Kasich would make a wonderful president...
For those of you who think he's a Conservative...
Think again...He expanded Medicaid in Ohio despite the fact that the State legislature voted against by pulling some sneaky stuff AND he's a proponent of the Common Core Curriculum AND now he's advocating for illegals.
Kasich is as Conservative as Ohio Senator Portman...(another elitist RINO).
Kasich has “evolved” in a lot of areas besides the illegal alien situation. He moved Ohio into expanded Medicaid eligibilty under the affordable care act. He should not be considered by ANY conservative as a potential 2016 presidential candidate.
Oops, sorry I should have read your post. You already pointed out his Medicaid history.
This man is damn awful, and unfortunately, he’s a sleeper moderate contender that will be more credible to rubes than the obviously communist Jeb and Krispy.
Ooh, he won so many counties!
Big whoop! He’s a lib. Do not let him get any foothold. If Johnny jumps into the race, we have to discredit and destroy him early.
Hannity & Cunningham pimp Kaisch as a Conservative. Its most annoying knowing he is not.
“In contrast to what he said a month before he won the governor’s office in 2010, Kasich sounded a note of compassion for those struggling to make a new life in America.”
How about “sounding a note of compassion” for the CITIZEN middle class worker getting hammered from all sides including having their wages driven into the gutter by illegal immigrants and H1B visa workers. That same middle class that’s being asked to pay for all these utopian fantasies of the political elite.
He seems to think that Conservatives don’t have a hard luck story to tell or that we don’t feel compassionate to those that are in trouble.
But those here illegally have brought lawlessness. We can look at them and say we empathize, we are sympathetic with the suffering they have endured and will endure but that the Rule of Law is more valuable for American society than is their willingness to break the law.
People like Kasich think he’s ‘smarter” now, he’s more “grown up” now and his wife had a ‘friend’ who was deported and kids, etc. etc. What Kasich has become is weak and cowardly, unwillingly to put his life on the line for America and its Soverignty. He’s grown dimmer and compromised and yet he thinks he’s ‘smarter’.
He’s got to go.
Another “evolver”.
He has evolved to cashing Sheldon Adelson’s and Tom Donahue’s checks
You're damn right you couldn't "do anything" to circumvent our nation's laws! So his stupid WIFE is why he's "evolved"? What a p-whipped assclown!
The only reason Kasich would be viable is if he was good on immigration, as we know he is terrible on all other issues.
That’s how Romney ran. A RINO on everything but immigration.
I’m thinking Pat McCrory (NC Governor) might be running in that lane if he were to run. McCrory is the only Governor who is not pandering to illegals. LePage as well but he’s not running.
McCrory also shut down the hispanic outreach operation immediately. He got 70% of the white vote while Tillis and Romney barely won.
Ohio Governor Kasich has lost his marbles as well as more importantly his prespective. So his wife made friends with an illegal alien who was deported what about the 150 million foreigners who want to immigrant to the US but have been constrained to wait in line like everyone else?
What about our ability to maintain a melting pot which is now crumbling because of a refusal to asumulate by many who also refuse to even obey our immigration laws.
Theses illegal aliens actions make them invaders not immigrants. Immigrants respect the laws and customs of their new country starting with the process to get in. Invaders just move in and do their own thing while avoiding the law.
There isent a real honest immigrant out there who isent insulted by what these invaders have done cutting in line in frount of them to enjoy the furits of the American life without any waiting.
What about their rights?
